Tone (poem 2!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nGcmUWWmIY

This professor, Mr. Stacey, gives his interpretation of hte contriversial poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" He does an explaination for symbolism mostly in his lecture, however teh tone for the poem is known as somber, as explained, the man on the horse is contemplating death throughout the darkness of the woods. It shifts as he says "I have promises to keep", as he does realize that there are reasons for him to keep on living. I will let the video do the rest of my explaination =]
